Default Cannot send "group" email using outlook 2003

Outlook 2003 had been working okay, then went kablewy. WhenI try to send a
"group" email "unexpected error occured" (Microsoft Word window) pops up and
email will not send. This group has been working for 3 years. I do use a
pop3 sever. I can send individual emails. Please help if possible.

We have no idea what you mean by "group." There is no Outlook term to that
effect. State clearly what you are doing, what happens when you try, and the
steps you used to make Outlook got "kablewy." Outlook does not do that all
by itself, you know.

Default Cannot send "group" email using outlook 2003

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what happened. Since I started using
Vista, all sort of strange things have happened. I send a newsletter each
week. I have been using the same distribution list for a long time. When I
sent Thursday night, a little pop up came up--the top of the square had
Microsoft Word and the box said unexpected error occured. The email would
not go out. I can go in the contacts list and select each person and send
the eamil that way. Just can't send using the distribution list. Does that
make sense?

Slowly but surely little tidbits of relevant information are starting to
trickle in. So somewhere along the line you changed your entire OS? Might
want to include how you did so and how you migrated your Outlook data when
you did. You appear to have corrupted your DL's by doing so incorrectly.

Default Cannot send "group" email using outlook 2003


My old xp computer crashed. I was able to download most files. I installed
my Office 2003 suite on the lap top (Vista). It has been working fine. The
only problem I really had was outlook would not filter junk emails and word
would not print drawn lines and some graphics. I could live with that. The
only thing done reciently--I installed Norton 360. Guess what-- the junk
email started filtering. Still problems with a few graphics and drawn lines.
But the distribution list quit working. Do I need to do something I don't
know about?

What I asked you was how you migrated your data to the new installation. I
suspect you did so incorrectly and trashed your DL's. For example, importing
your data would lose DL's and other data.

Sorry I didn't understand. I did not migrate or import any outlook data to
the new computer. I manually typed the DL in. It was working fine. I've
been using it for about 3 months on this computer. That you for being
patient with me.

Oh, come on. You said this group had been working fine for 3 years. Vista
has not been out for 3 years. Reconcile the incompatible information you are

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I've used it for three years on XP only 3
months on Vista. I installed the Office 2003 manually on the Vista computer.
I did not import any files to Vista. I manually put in my contact and
distribution lists in the outlook address book. It worked. I haven't done
anything different. Thursday 2 weeks ago I sent the newsletter using the
distribution group I always have. Went with no problem. This past Thursday I
did as I always do. When I hit send I got the error. The newsletter is a
PDF attachment, but the error says it's a Word error.

State the error precisely. Make sure you do NOT scan email with your AV.
Clarify how you moved your data. There is no such thing as an address book
in Outlook. Are you saying you manually recreated every single Contact and
DL in your Contacts Folder?
